Day 1

A Struggle:

I’ve never played a game like this where you’re supposed to build things. I’m more used to the games my brothers used to play with me, like Diablo or League of Legends, where the goal is to kill and level up. So it was hard for me to even start the game because the concept was pretty different from the past games I played. I’ve had a hard time trying to build things, even though I’ve learned how to build a crafting table and collect materials. I don’t really know what kind of things I can make, and how I’m supposed to rearrange them to get what I want. Also, on Thursday which was the first time we played, I had a really hard time surviving. It would frustrate me how I would collect a bunch of materials, try to make something and then suddenly night time comes and I get killed by zombies or other monsters.

An Accomplishment:

I’ve been more observant of when day turns into night! Thus I know when I’m supposed to start finding shelter, and protect myself from the zombies that I still stand no chance against. I found that digging holes are actually quite a good way to stay alive.

An Observation:

The environment has been changing quite a bit from the first time we entered the game on Thursday. It is harder to find trees and other materials than before, a lot of them don’t seem to be growing back as fast.

A Question:

I’m always kind of confused of where I am, and find myself wandering around a lot. So is there a way to create a map? Or is there a map I can use at all??
